Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 2, 2007, our board of directors approved a donation of $10 million in cash to the ADC Foundation. The donation is expected to be completed by the end of our 2007 fiscal year. The ADC Foundation is a non-profit corporation that represents the charitable arm of ADC Telecommunications, Inc. It was founded in 1999. The foundation's goal is to provide social and economic value by encouraging employee contributions and by making direct grants primarily in two strategic focus areas: mathematics and science education, and nonprofit access to technology. The ADC Foundation has also supported certain other social and cultural organizations and disaster relief efforts. The ADC Foundation makes charitable grants in major ADC communities in the U.S. and six other countries where ADC does business. A donation to the ADC Foundation by ADC was made in 2000, at which time ADC stated its intent that the Foundation be more fully funded by subsequent donations. That donation has helped to fund the ADC Foundation' s charitable activities for the past several years. At this time, the planned donation for 2007 is expected to fund the operations and charitable giving of the ADC Foundation for several years to come.

The 2000 donation was made from the proceeds of an investment. Similarly, the current $10 million donation is being made out of the net proceeds from the previously announced $57 million gain from the sale of stock of BigBand Networks, Inc. in the second quarter of 2007. We received the BigBand stock in connection with the sale of our IP cable business unit in 2004.
